Well, if there's foam in there there's no room for hundreds of pounds of water.

The stringers have closed cell foam inside. No worries there. You could have some water outside a stronger section but I doubt it would be much as the hull is pretty flat on the outside
On principle, I would say that drilling a hole anywhere in a boat which is in the water is not a good idea. I think I'd wait until the next haulout. Or the one after that.
I have friends with other Hatteras , sport fishers or convertibles that developed a list , it’s coming from somewhere. Closed cell foam or not , water is getting in .
Has any one contacted the Army Corp of Engineers, maybe the water is twisted. The great lakes seem to be very flat at the moment.

I have a spot on the wood to cover in the salon and an inclinometer would look nice. I'm surprised all my fancy electronics don't have one in there already.

With a list to SB from the genny and 8 batts for the SB bank on that side, I'll slowly take it back to flat as things change. The tower makes it more noticable.
